1930s Solid Wood Airplane Propeller

- No Longer Available -

In late 1930s and early '40s America, small planes like the Piper Cub and Aeronca Champ soared across newsreels, ferrying commanders (including the Commander in Chief) around the European Theater and patrolling the shores at home. These agile and speedy planes, collectively dubbed Grasshoppers, were driven by fixed-pitch propellers like this one.
